"Hey... Is this the captain's home?"
After cautiously stepping into the room, Lily looked around curiously.
Although it is filled with various sundries, forging tools, and materials.
But overall, it is not dirty or messy, there is a sense of orderly messiness.
After returning from the dungeon, the two went to the guild first.
The magic stone fragments obtained today were exchanged for more than 8,000 fares at the gold exchange office.
Considering the first-day results for a new adventurer, it was pretty good.
However, Kevin was not satisfied with this. This money was nothing to him.
The price of a slightly better low-level weapon is far more than this number.
As a member of Hephaestus's family, you can't set your sights too low.
"Put your things aside, we're going to another place later."
As he spoke, Kevin called out the system and opened Lily's information interface.
There is not much content above, which is mainly divided into two parts: "management" and "skills".
The management page allows Kevin to control the permissions of the contractors.
For example, whether one can enter and exit a certain world or use certain items.
In addition, "functions" can also be assigned!
That is, you can designate the contractor to serve as the NPC role of Terraria.
And get the corresponding store features!
Currently, there is only one function that Kevin can be assigned, and that is "businessman".
This is the most common merchant NPC in Terraria, selling some basic supplies.
For example, torches, ropes, weak healing potions, etc.
Of course, there are some more practical tools.
Like a mining helmet that glows and a piggy bank that provides extra storage space.
Different from the Adventurer Market in Babel Tower,
The currency used in Terraria's shops is gold, silver, and copper coins produced in the world.
Goods are in unlimited supply, and their prices will not increase.
Most of the things Kevin got from the treasure chest can be bought in the store.
However, items such as enhancement potions and accessories are not for sale.
[Do you want to designate Lilyluka's role as a "merchant"?]
[This contractor has the skill of "Behind-the-scenes Supporter", and there will be additional bonuses when taking on this role]
"Hmm? There's a bonus?"
Seeing the prompt in front of him, Kevin raised his eyebrows, but did not confirm it immediately.
Instead, he first glanced at the effects of Lily's skills.
[Behind-the-scenes Supporter: Contract skill, grants the contractor 50 inventory slots, and gains an additional 50 inventory slots when serving as a "merchant"]
"It turns out that after signing a contract, the contract skills will be activated."
Kevin browsed the skill information, thoughtful.
As expected of a professional supporter, after becoming a "merchant", Lily's inventory space is even larger than his!
"Lily, how do you feel now?"
After completing the assignment, Kevin turned his gaze to Lily, who was sitting quietly on the side.
"Hmm... a lot of information suddenly came out."
The dwarf girl rubbed her temple and looked a little exhausted.
But she quickly digested the information and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I now have the function of a 'merchant'. As long as I have money, I can buy all kinds of props."
"The captain can also open the shopping interface from me... That's what I got."
Because Lily didn't know that Kevin had a system, the description was a bit vague.
However, the latter knew what was going on as soon as he heard it and started trying it immediately.
"I see. As long as you are within a certain range of Lily, you can open the store page."
Soon, a window full of dazzling items appeared in front of Kevin.
Above are the expected items... and prices.
Torch, 50 copper each.
Weak healing potion, 3 silver coins per bottle.
Weak magic potion, 1 silver coin per bottle.
Wooden arrows, 5 copper coins each.
Shuriken, 15 copper coins each.
Rope, 10 copper coins per piece.
Insect net, 25 silver coins each.
Piggy bank, 1 gold coin each.
Mining helmet, 4 gold coins each.
...
In addition to this, there are still many items that have not been unlocked.
The sale will only take place at a specific time, under specific circumstances, or when certain conditions are met.
Kevin flipped through his inventory and found that his total assets were... zero!
"After all, I died once and lost all my money."
Kevin shook his head helplessly and closed the store page.
The penalty for death is more than just being unable to enter the Terraria world.
All the coins on your body will also fall off.
Compared to some games where all your equipment and inventory will be lost after death,
This punishment is already very light.
However, in order to accumulate wealth, it is better to avoid death in the future.
After setting Lily's permissions to "Can enter the Terraria world",
Kevin took her little hand and disappeared.
The next moment, two figures suddenly appeared in an open space in the woods.
Unlike the Overworld, which was approaching dusk, Terraria was still in daylight as the sun had just risen.
"Huh... it's still comfortable here."
Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Kevin sighed.
"The environment in the dungeon is terrible. It's dark and narrow, and the air is full of gray."
Lily grabbed a corner of Kevin's clothes, stuck her head out from behind him, and looked at this world full of unknowns.
"Master, what is this place?"
"Terraria, a whole new world... and only I can enter it."
Kevin grabbed Lily from behind and brought her in front of him and began to explain.
"You can also come in after getting my permission."
"Of course, I'm not asking you to come in for tourism."
"As long as you can complete the work I assign to you, you can arrange the rest of your time as you like."
"By the way, the flow of time here is twice as fast as outside. Two days here is equal to one day in Orario. You can understand it this way."
For Lily, who came from a low-income family and started begging at the age of three,
Everything that happened today and what Kevin experienced were all unheard-of experiences.
"Is this a world that only the master and I can enter..."
"That is to say, no one from the clan will come looking for us."
There was an inexplicable glow in Lily's gem-like amber eyes.
"Master, what do I need to do next?"
"What? Of course..."
Kevin took out the copper axe from the inventory and looked around.
"First, build a 'home' as a base for long-term exploration."
"I'll chop down the trees. Lily, you'll be in charge of collecting the wood and keeping watch on the surroundings."
"If you find any monsters like slimes, report to me immediately."
Home.
The dwarf girl repeated this word several times in her mind.
Then he followed with full enthusiasm.
